AI Skin Analysis

MoreMe Skin Analyser

The MoreMe AI skin analyser provides clinical-grade imaging and diagnostic insight into your skin before treatment -- identifying underlying pigmentation, vascular concerns, texture and hydration levels that are not always visible to the naked eye.

Used at Facial Impressions as part of consultations, and before IPL, laser and pigmentation treatments to guide the treatment plan. Also available as a standalone add-on to any appointment.

Pigmentation mapping -- identifies epidermal and dermal pigmentation, sun damage and age spots not visible on the surface
Vascular assessment -- visualises redness, rosacea, broken capillaries and vascular lesions
Texture analysis -- assesses pore size, skin texture and surface irregularities
Hydration levels -- measures skin moisture and barrier condition
Treatment planning -- used before IPL and laser treatments to assess and map the skin prior to the session

Add-on: MoreMe Skin Analysis can be added to any appointment for $80 -- or is included as part of the Advanced Skin Consultation & Analysis with Kim.

Common questions

The Facial Impressions Signature Facial is the most popular first visit -- it is fully personalised to your skin on the day and gives your therapist a chance to get to know your skin before making further recommendations. If you have a specific skin concern such as pigmentation, rosacea, acne or skin changes from ageing, an Advanced Skin Consultation with Kim is the best starting point. Both can be booked online.
Yes -- a range of facial enhancements can be added to any facial, including steam with extractions, Triple Ampoule Infusion, a traditional face massage, back massage, red LED light therapy, microdermabrasion, the GL Glysalac Peel Booster, an Intensive Vitamin C Booster and Direct High Frequency for breakouts. Some enhancements add time to your appointment and others are infused within your treatment. Let us know when booking, or ask your therapist on the day.
Yes -- many treatments are suitable for sensitive skin, including the Signature Facial, Organic Certified Radiance Facial, LED Light Therapy and the Pink Treatment. Some treatments (professional peels, laser facials, Carbon Laser) are not recommended for sensitive or reactive skin. Please let us know when booking and we will guide you to the most appropriate option.
BBL (BroadBand Light) is a term commonly used by dermatologists for broad-spectrum light-based skin treatments. Our DPL Protege device delivers advanced Broadband Rejuvenation (BBR) -- the same technology. It uses dual-mode IPL with precision notch filters for targeted, safe treatment of pigmentation, sun damage, redness, broken capillaries and vascular concerns. If you have been referred for BBL treatment, our IPL Photo Rejuvenation service is the equivalent.
Absolutely -- the majority of our treatments are suitable for male and female clients. Men are warmly welcome at Facial Impressions and we see many male clients for facials, skin treatments, HIFU and laser procedures.
We offer two programmes. The Skin Plan is a structured, personalised skin programme -- Kim designs a course of treatments around your specific concerns and goals, available in 3, 6 or 12-month options with flexible payment arrangements. The Beauty Credit is a flexible monthly credit you can spend across any treatment in the clinic -- no fixed schedule, total freedom to book what you love. Call us on 02 9918 7288 or book a consultation to discuss which is right for you.
For general skin maintenance, most clients benefit from a professional facial every 4 to 6 weeks -- aligned with the skin's natural cell turnover cycle. Clients on a structured programme, or undertaking a course of clinical treatments, may attend more frequently. Kim will advise on the most appropriate schedule at your consultation.
